I will run tonight after work... probably on the treadmill since it will be in the upper 90's by the time I'm off work. I just could not turn my brain off last night after going to the viewing of a friends brother. The friend is who I ran on his Ragnar team with. His little brother hung himself last Thursday. I wanted to go and so my support for my friends family, but it upset me more then I thought it would. The viewing was at the same mortuary as my friends 5 years ago. Same method of death. I guess there were too many similarities. Even though this young man was younger then my friend. They were both very handsome guys with lovely blue eyes. This kids looked like he was right out of a cologne add. I could not go into the room were his cassket was by the time I got to the door I had had enough... I think my friend was understanding. I let him know if they needed anything I would try to be there for them. I really just need to shake this off... I'm sure my run tonight will help. 

*after work - 7 miles at the gym. first mile 9:00 next two at 8::30, next two and a half at 8:00, then next 1.5 at 8:30 and last .50 at 9:00. Does that add up to seven? My brain is fried for the day... off to eat and go to bed.

Oh my! That is so very sad. I think that a funeral under those circumstances would get to anyone. WOW, what a rough thing to have to deal with. I am sure your friend understood and appreciated that you came.

I hope you get that run in tonight.

So sad! :( You're a good friend. Have a good run this evening!

That is so tragic. I hope you have a therapeutic run.

I think that adds up to 7 and a half, but maybe I'm counting wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.

HMMM I think you are right Carolyn, I can't remember now what I did, and I had to stop for a potty break at mile three... is it still a tempo run if you have to stop and potty?
